NetworkManager update requires bind
by Arnaud Abélard
Hello,
I'm wondering why the networkManager package (NetworkManager.i386
0:0.3.3-1.cvs20050112.1.fc3) available in the updates now requires
caching-nameserver which requires bind?
I'm not saying it's abnormal, but it does look weird to see an update
requiring bind...
Cheers,
Arnaud

Vain Imaginations of Fedora Bootup
by Jeff Pitman
As a laptop user and a power user, I have a need that current offerings
leave a lot to be desired for. I am pretty certain I am not alone in
this need, so I'd like to share what would be the greatest interactive
experience with Fedora we've yet to see.
Instead of writing a tome about it, I'll lay it out real simple like:
1. Identify bare minimum services for GDM to fully function as soon as
possible. (tty, etc.) [Bill mentioned this for FC4 target]
2. Identify bare minimum services for actual login to fully function.
(network, postfix/sendmail, etc.)
3. Modify GDM to not display the username/password box until #2 is
ready.
4. Integrate RHGB functionality into GDM so that progress can be
displayed to the user prior to #2 becoming available.
5. Integrate NetworkManager functionality into GDM so as to facilitate
proper start of essential services for #2.
6. NetworkManager integrated into GDM should provide menus to select
certain roaming profiles. Most profiles should be auto-detected.
(wireless, eth, openvpn tun, vpnc cisco client, openswan vpn, etc.,
etc. should all be included.)
7. Services that need to identify with a particular network profile
should be delayed until network roaming profile is in place.
8. Extra helper services can be delayed until the very end to startup
after #3 is displaying on the screen. There could even be an ongoing
startup process while the user is logging into the desktop.
9. XDMCP portion of GDM needs to delay binding to sockets until after
NetworkManager is done configuring the current roaming profile.
10. Services that are in Error during GDM can use a minimalistic
sub-window strategically located so that the user can see problem
services. Possibly usage of osd_cat found in xosd would be an
excellent candidate. Or, possibly, the mechanism used in amarok and
others to display an OSD type sub-window. This would be able to carry
through after even GDM is closed and X window is starting up with the
user's login.
11. xfs may need to restart to rebind to appropriate interfaces after
NetworkManager is done. Other services may need the same.
Anyhow, these are just a few of things that came acrossed my head over
the last couple of days.
Comments?
thanks,

enable tcp_syncookies by default?
by Marius Andreiana
Hi
Based on information below, can
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies/tcp_syncookies
be enabled by default? Are there any drawbacks?
A very popular denial of service attack involves a cracker sending many
(possibly forged) SYN packets to your server, but never completing the
TCP three way handshake. This quickly uses up slots in the kernel's half
open queue, preventing legitimate connections from succeeding. Since a
connection does not need to be completed, there need be no resources
used on the attacking machine, so this is easy to perform and maintain.
If the tcp_syncookies variable is set (only available if your kernel was
compiled with CONFIG_SYNCOOKIES) then the kernel handles TCP SYN packets
normally until the queue is full, at which point the SYN cookie
functionality kicks in.
SYN cookies work by not using a SYN queue at all. Instead the kernel
will reply to any SYN packet with a SYN|ACK as normal, but it will
present a specially-crafted TCP sequence number that encodes the source
and destination IP address and port number and the time the packet was
sent. An attacker performing the SYN flood would never have gotten this
packet at all if they're spoofing, so they wouldn't respond. A
legitimate connection attempt would send the third packet of the three
way handshake which includes this sequence number, and the server can
verify that it must be in response to a valid SYN cookie and allows the
connection, even though there is no corresponding entry in the SYN
queue.
Enabling SYN cookies is a very simple way to defeat SYN flood attacks
while using only a bit more CPU time for the cookie creation and
verification. Since the alternative is to reject all incoming
connections, enabling SYN cookies is an obvious choice.
Thanks,

FC1 vs FC2 vs FC3
by Tim Daly
Is there a reliable way to know what version of Fedora Core is running?
I need to write a shell script to distinguish the cases.
uname does not seem to provide this information in a form I can use.

Where is the newest rpm?
by Tadashi Jokagi
Hi,
I went into the associate of a translation project.
Translation of rpm can be performed in a translation project.
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=index
However, there is a question.
I feel that rpm of a translation project is old.
RPM of Fedora Project is a version 4.3.3.
However, I cannot find formal URL of 4.3.3.
Isn't 4.3.3 of rpm formal?
I asked a question by rpm-list.
However, a reply was not able to be obtained at all.
thanks,
